Effect of ligation on success rate of IVF
Test tube baby is a reproductive technology, which has been widely used in many infertile couples. However, many people are worried about whether the men or women who have been ligated can successfully achieve a healthy pregnancy through IVF technology. This article will discuss the influence of ligation on the success rate of IVF from multiple perspectives.
Background Overview
IVF technology is a process of culturing fertilized eggs in the laboratory and transplanting them into women's uterus. Ligation is a surgical method, which can prevent the combination of sperm and egg by cutting off the fallopian tube or vas deferens, so as to achieve the purpose of contraception or infertility treatment. However, whether ligation will affect the success rate of IVF has been a controversial issue.
Influencing factor 1: tubal ligation
Female tubal ligation is a common contraceptive method, but this operation may also lead to tubal dysfunction. The abnormal function of the fallopian tube will affect the smooth movement of the fertilized egg from the ovary to the uterus, thus reducing the success rate of IVF. However, tubal ligation does not completely block the oviduct, and some eggs may still be fertilized in the oviduct, so the impact of tubal ligation varies from individual to individual.
To understand the influence of tubal ligation on IVF, we can determine it by examining the condition of female oviducts. Some professional reproductive hospitals, such as the Reproductive Medical Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, can directly observe and evaluate the patency of fallopian tubes by using transvaginal contrast-enhanced ultrasound and other technologies, thus providing a reference for the success rate of IVF.
Influencing factor 2: vasectomy
Male vas deferens ligation is a common male ligation. Although ligation of vas deferens does not affect sperm production, this operation will block the normal discharge channel of sperm. Therefore, after vasectomy, men cannot fertilize by natural means, and can only obtain offspring by IVF technology.
The success rate of IVF after vasectomy depends on the availability of sperm after surgery. If sperm can still be collected through other ways, such as residual sperm in semen or sperm in testis, IVF technology can still achieve pregnancy. Some reproductive hospitals, such as Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, provide semen examination and sperm extraction technologies to help men with vasectomy achieve IVF.
Influencing factor 3: semen quality
Whether male or female, semen quality may change after ligation. The ligation of fallopian tube will lead to ovulation disorder in women, which will reduce the quality of eggs in the ovary; Vasectomy may affect sperm quality. Both affect the success rate of IVF.
Reproductive hospitals evaluate semen quality through semen analysis. For example, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University provides authoritative semen analysis services. Through these results, professional doctors can evaluate sperm quality and develop personalized treatment plans to improve the success rate of IVF.
Influencing factor 4: medical technology and experience
In addition to individual conditions, medical technology and experience are also important factors that determine the success rate of IVF. The equipment of the reproductive hospital, surgical techniques, transplantation techniques and the experience of the expert team all have an important impact on the results of IVF.
For example, Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is one of the earliest hospitals in China to carry out clinical application of reproductive medicine. It has strong technical force and rich experience, which can ensure the high success rate of IVF.
summary
Ligation may affect the success rate of IVF. The ligation of fallopian tube affects the smooth movement of fertilized eggs, and the ligation of vas deferens affects the normal discharge channel of sperm. Both of them affect the success rate of IVF. In addition, semen quality may also change after ligation. However, with the help of professional reproductive hospitals and expert teams, appropriate technology and treatment can improve the success rate of IVF.
